private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			try
			{
				ReplaceInFile(@"C:\MyFolder\MySystem\MySystem.INI","58.71.17.62","mlserver.company.com");
				ReplaceInFile(@"C:\MyFolder\MySystem\MySystem.INI","192.168.12.100","mlserver.company.com");

			}
			catch (Exception ex)

static public void ReplaceInFile(string filePath,string searchText,string replaceText)
		{
						
			StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(filePath);
			string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
			reader.Close();

So you are saying that you want to edit a file that requires admin privs to edit without having these privs?

I am sorry but I don't know a way to do that.
Found this thread:

Where the conclusion is that you can't edit it without the admin rights. It would kinda be a flaw in Windows if you could do that.
